The main industries that have suffered the most and the least from the effects of COVID-19, as well as the peculiarities of changing their segments in the overall labor market. The reasons for the slow decline in unemployment in Ukraine after the outbreak of coronavirus infection have been identified. The peculiarities of the corona crisis also led to the fact that in the structure of the labor force the most affected were workers engaged in manual labor, usually with a low level of education and low pay. Coronary crisis also has gender implications. Due to the predominance of women's contact services and the need to care for children due to the closure of schools due to the introduction of quarantine measures, the share of women among the "new unemployed" was higher than men. In terms of changes in the sectoral structure of labor, there is a clear sharp increase in global demand for IT professionals of various profiles, the corona crisis has given additional impetus to the use of robots and replace them with jobs and professions that are easy to algorithmize. The possible short-term and long-term consequences of the impact of quarantine measures on the market situation are outlined. Conclusions have been made on the state of the labor market during the COVID-19 pandemic and prospects for further research in this area are needed.
